First up: FreeBSD is NOT a Linux distribution, and secondly, is NetBSD so small that it is nowhere to be found? Berkeley software distribution ≠ Linux (or gnu+Linux, which is btw not true for all distros.)

When was Windows 11, Lineage/Android, MacOS or a fucking TI calculator a proper Linux distro

Judaism is Unix.

What would Islam be? Gnu Herd?

Edit: I made the joke in a different comment but Islam would be Solaris and Wahhabism would be post oracle Solaris.

Nah Unix should be Zoroastrianism and Judaism should be Minix

That would imply Judaism copied Zoroastrianism's homework. Since they came around the same time, it would be something else. Zoroastrianism should be AmigaOS. Judaism should be Unix. Would islam be Solaris? Would Wahhabism be Solaris post oracle?

I think several on your chart don’t believe in the Trinity? Pretty sure LDS, JW, and at least some Pentecostal? I think they all self-identify as Christian, though, but some Unitarians might not? Is that the difference?

That's my exact thought process. I put LDS at Android because they do identify as Christian, but we are really stretching the definition of what technically counts as Christian.

Honestly I don't know as much as I ought to about UU, but I didn't think that they generally identify as Christian.

What about Gnostics? I feel there is some severe underrepresentation for my favourite flavour of heretics.

Contemporary Gnostics would be Hanna Montana Linux.

I disagree. You have MacOS as "Spiritual but not Religious". MacOS is Hillsong. Also, many of these are not Christian, and many of these are not Linux.

MacOS is Hillsong.

I can see that.

Also, many of these are not Christian, and many of these are not Linux.

I'm aware.

Islam is Android

Android is very technically Linux. So it can't be Islam.

Islam is still an Abrahamic religion, but doesn't recognize Jesus as more than a prophet. So, NetBSD.

Lineage/Android

Only the kernel is called Linux. The userspace is completely different from GNU/Linux but the actual software named Linux is being used. Alpine Linux isn't GNU/Linux either.

Where would you put Pop!_OS?

Also, there’s a wide spectrum of Lutherans and they often don’t get along.

Pop_OS! would be United Churches of Christ.
Derived from Ubuntu, and generally accepted as reliable and easy for newbies.

FreeBSD is not linux, so atheism in this case means that they do not pray to linux gods at all.

Right. FreeBSD having a devil logo was really just a coincidental bonus.

I do not consider those churches to be Christian. Their theology is significantly removed from orthoxy that it's unrecognizable.

But even still, as with WSL, you can find some Christianity in there if you work really hard to find it.

If I go distro->religion then I guess I'm Orthodox. If I go religion->distro then I guess I need to start using a TI graphing calculator.

If you use Slack then you are probably a person that finds benefit in self-inflicted struggles. You seriously might find benefit and meaning in the Orthodox Church.

I guess I fall between Arch and openSUSE (so rolling release), that is what you get when you are born in a small country, all the way in the back waters, you make things work in anyway you can.

Backwater folk making things work the best they can.

I think that's a pretty good description of non-denom/Baptist churches. User checks out!

You know that Christianity is quite a broad religion right? Most Christians are pretty reasonable people.

And no, I'm not a Christian.

I guess. But it feels very different from Judaism as best as I can tell. And Zoroastrianism is still seperate from the big 3 monotheistic religions.

I looked up Lineage and see it’s also an Android variant. What’s the Pentecostal logo?

A bit more than a prophet as he did bring a book/message but pretty much this. Same rank (if you can call it that) as Abraham, Moses and Mohammad.

Pentecostal is KaOS.

A built-from-scratch Linux that doesn't rely on any of the other branches and just does is own kinda specific thing. (You can probably suggest something better. I was kinda running out of ideas for that one.)

Funnily enough, this leads to more android x86 development.

We'll have to wait until AluminumOS is actually released to place it on the chart.

My guess is that it becomes First Baptist in Dallas.

I think NixOS might be Unitarian Universalist. Dreamed up in a doctoral thesis, seems neat, half a dozen ways to do anything (none of which are truly wrong), access to all the packages in the world, terrible documentation.
